Squad

58 days out for Hristo Popadiyn after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Falkenberg will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Anton Andersson puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Falkenberg, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Falkenberg close the window on a squad of their own making

12 in and 9 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Match

Utsikten end the Falkenberg run at 10

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 10 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

The dugout

Hans Krüger: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Falkenberg have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Emil Hansson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Emil Hansson commits to Falkenberg for another 4 years.

Boardroom

6 academy graduates step up at Falkenberg

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Match

A bad afternoon for Falkenberg against Utsikten

1‑3 to Utsikten, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at Falkenberg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Christos Gravius is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

In brief
